2 dumb questions

Ok im sorta new to the bass(ive been playing for about 2 years today) and i was wondering about two really dumb things. im thining of ordering a set of ken smith bass strings for my 5 stringer. Theyre lights, and i was wondering will the low b(a 120 gauge) be ale to tun to a c sharp and be tight? im not too sure if its if theyre thicke they cntune tighter. Please dont make fun of me for my dumb questions. Any help would be great. Cheers

sorry guys for not reall making myself clear. I have a Rogue 5 string(runs from flames). I beleive its a 34 or 36 not too sure...maybe one of you guys can help.Anywho, thank you for the nput and comments woud be great.

and you are probably going to need a big fat B string to get any kind of good low end response out of that bass. normally the way it works is that the stiffer the bass is, the smaller B string you need. rogues aren't very stiff.

if you tune the B to C#, yeah a 120 will be decent. i use a .125 on my low B of both my warwicks, and it's perfect for it. anything lower than that it starts sounding farty. the thicker the string the tighter it will be at a given frequency -or- to phrase it differently, the lower the string will sound if the tension is the same. for example, try tuning your G string to a low E.

so in conclusion - get something bigger than .120 unless you really want to tune up to C#. and start saving your pennies for something that'll have a good B string. i'd highly recommend an MTD kingston for a good entry level 5'er.
